Light a candle. Say a prayer. Make a wish….
How well I remember this lovely ritual, from my childhood. I send out a wish to all my blog friends that you will find the wonder and magic of this beautiful season.
May all your wishes and hopes for the new year come true.
PS: Hooray! Just noted, this post is my 100th at My Poetic Path. I’m so glad to be sharing the blogosphere with such good friends. 🙂

Hi Christine, Thanks so much for your kind words and greetings!
Hi Tammy, It’s been such a pleasure getting to know you via TDW. You are a treasured friend.
Hi HR Gal, And thanks for visiting MPP on a regular basis, great to see you again.
Hi Sandy, I’m honored that you want to share my post with your readers.
Hi Paisley, Focus on the light in your life Paisley, it is there. So many people have so little and nothing to look forward to. As you said in a recent post, the freedom and security you enjoy are both things that can be hard to find and much to be appreciated. I hope you find peace and happiness in the new year. Hang in there.
Hi Michelle, So nice to see you and I am happy to call you a dear friend.
Wishing you all a wonderful holiday and new year, G

Congrats. on your 100th post. Thank you for the good wishes and the same to you.
When I was a child my mother told me to make a wish with a stir of the Christmas pudding. Then there was the wish bone from the chicken or turkey. The person who got the biggest part, when it was pulled, made the wish. Do you have those traditions?

Lovely, Geraldine, and congratulations….
I shall light a candle tonight and wish for the return to good health of two very dear friends.
